Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreements.

On September 19, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. (the “Company”) completed a $301.4 million term debt securitization transaction (the “CLO Transaction”), also known as a collateralized loan obligation transaction, which is a form of secured financing incurred by the Company. The secured notes and preferred shares issued in the CLO Transaction and the secured loan borrowed in the CLO Transaction were issued and incurred, as applicable, by the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries PennantPark CLO I, Ltd., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (the “Issuer”), and PennantPark CLO I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Co-Issuer” and together with the Issuer, the “Issuers”) and are backed by a portfolio of collateral obligations consisting of middle market loans and participation interests in middle market loans as well as by other assets of the Issuer.

The CLO Transaction was executed by (A) the issuance of the following classes of notes pursuant to an indenture dated as of the Closing Date (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuers and U.S. Bank National Association: (i) $78.5 million of AAA(sf)/AAAsf Class A-1 Notes, which bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.80%, (ii) $15 million of AAA(sf) Class A-2 Notes, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.66%, (iii) $14 million of AA(sf) Class B-1 Notes, which bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 2.90%, (iv) $16 million of AA(sf) Class B-2 Notes, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.266%, (v) $19 million of A(sf) Class C-1 Notes, which bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 4.00%, (vi) $8 million of A(sf) Class C-2 Notes, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.379%, and $18 million of BBB-(sf) Class D Notes, which bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 4.75% (together, the “Secured Notes”) and (B) the borrowing by the Issuers of $77.5 million under AAA(sf)/AAAsf Class A-1 floating rate loans (the “Class A-1 Loans” and together with the Secured Notes, the “Debt”), which bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.80%, under a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of the Closing Date, by and among the Issuers, as borrowers, various financial institutions, as lenders, and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent and as loan agent. The Debt is secured by the middle market loans, participation interests in middle market loans and other assets of the Issuer. The Debt is scheduled to mature on October 15, 2031. Certain of the Secured Notes were privately placed on behalf of the Issuers by GreensLedge Capital Markets LLC.

Concurrently with the issuance of the Secured Notes and the borrowing under the Class A-1 Loans, the Issuer issued 55.4 million preferred shares at a stated value of U.S.$1.00 per share (the “Preferred Shares”). The Preferred Shares were issued by the Issuer as part of its issued share capital and are not secured by the collateral securing the Debt. The Company purchased all of the Class D Notes and Preferred Shares. The Company acts as retention holder in connection with the CLO Transaction for the purposes of satisfying certain U.S. and European Union regulations requiring sponsors of securitization transactions to retain exposure to the performance of the securitized assets and as such has agreed to retain all of the Preferred Shares.

As part of the CLO Transaction, the Company entered into a master loan sale agreement with the Issuer dated as of the Closing Date, which provided for the sale and contribution of approximately $293.5 million par amount of middle market loans from the Company to the Issuer on the Closing Date and for future sales and contributions, as applicable, from the Company to the Issuer on an ongoing basis. Such loans constituted part of the initial portfolio of assets securing the Debt. The remainder of the initial portfolio assets securing the Debt consisted of approximately $279.5 million par amount of middle market loans purchased by the Issuer from PennantPark Floating Rate Funding I, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, under a master participation agreement executed on the Closing Date between the Issuer and PennantPark Floating Rate Funding I, LLC. The Company and PennantPark Floating Rate Funding I, LLC each made customary representations, warranties, and covenants to the Issuer under the applicable agreement.

Through October 15, 2023, a portion of the proceeds received by the Issuer from the loans securing the Debt may be used by the Issuer to purchase additional middle market loans under the direction of PennantPark Investment Advisers LLC (“PennantPark”), the Company’s investment adviser, in its capacity as collateral manager for the Issuer and in accordance with the requirements of the Issuer’s indenture and collateral management agreement with PennantPark and the Company’s investing strategy and ability to originate eligible middle market loans.

The Debt is the secured obligation of the Issuers, and the Indenture and the Credit Agreement include customary covenants and events of default. The Secured Notes and the Preferred Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities (e.g., “blue sky”) laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration. PennantPark will serve as collateral manager for the Issuer under a collateral management agreement dated as of the Closing Date. PennantPark is entitled to receive fees for providing these services. PennantPark has irrevocably waived its right to receive such fees for so long as it serves as collateral manager for the Issuer.

The proceeds of the issuance and incurrence of the Debt, net of certain fees, will be used to repay a portion of the Company’s $520 million secured credit facility.

PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. Completes $301.4 Million Debut CLO

NEW YORK, NY — (GLOBE NEWSWIRE — September 19, 2019) — PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PFLT) (TASE: PFLT) today announced that it completed a $301.4 million term debt securitization transaction (the “CLO Transaction”). The debt securitization is backed by a diversified portfolio of middle market loans, and consists of the following classes of notes (collectively, the “Secured Notes”) and preferred shares (the “Preferred Shares”) pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 19, 2019 (the “Closing Date”):

The Company has retained all of the Class D Notes and Preferred Shares through a consolidated subsidiary. The reinvestment period for the term debt securitization ends on October 15, 2023 and the Secured Notes are scheduled to mature on October 15, 2031. The proceeds from the Secured Notes will be used to repay a portion of the Company’s $520 million secured credit facility. In addition, the Company acts as retention holder in connection with the CLO Transaction for the purposes of satisfying certain U.S. and European Union regulations requiring sponsors of securitization transactions to retain exposure to the performance of the securitized assets and as such has agreed to retain all of the Preferred Shares. GreensLedge Capital Markets LLC acted as lead placement agent on the CLO Transaction.

“I am extremely pleased with the pricing and structure of PennantPark’s inaugural collateralized loan obligation, which speaks volumes about our track record and the strength of our investment platform,” said Art Penn, Chief Executive Officer. “The maturity, reinvestment period and pricing of this financing are attractive and well matched to our asset base. This CLO also creates even more funding diversity and assists us with achieving leverage targets over time.”

The Secured Notes are the secured obligation of the Issuers, and the Indenture and the Credit Agreement include customary covenants and events of default. The Secured Notes and the Preferred Shares offered as part of the term debt securitization have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or any state “blue sky” laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. Collateralized loan obligations are a form of secured financing incurred by the Company, which are consolidated by the Company and subject to the Company’s overall asset coverage requirements.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Section 1.3 Assumptions as to Assets. In connection with all calculations required to be made pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Scheduled Distributions on any Asset, or any payments on any other assets included in the Assets, with respect to the sale of and reinvestment in Collateral Obligations, and with respect to the income that can be earned on Scheduled Distributions on such Assets and on any other amounts that may be received for deposit in the Collection Account, the provisions set forth in this Section 1.3 shall be applied. The provisions of this Section 1.3 shall be applicable to any determination or calculation that is covered by this Section 1.3, whether or not reference is specifically made to Section 1.3, unless some other method of calculation or determination is expressly specified in the particular provision.

(a) All calculations with respect to Scheduled Distributions on the Assets securing the Secured Debt shall be made on the basis of information as to the terms of each such Asset and upon reports of payments, if any, received on such Asset that are furnished by or on behalf of the issuer of such Asset and, to the extent they are not manifestly in error, such information or reports may be conclusively relied upon in making such calculations.

(b) For purposes of calculating the Coverage Tests, except as otherwise specified in the Coverage Tests, such calculations will not include scheduled interest and principal payments on Defaulted Obligations unless or until such payments are actually made.

(c) For each Collection Period and as of any date of determination, the Scheduled Distribution on any Asset (including Current Pay Obligations but excluding Defaulted Obligations, which, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be assumed to have a Scheduled Distribution of zero, except to the extent any payments have actually been received) shall be the sum of (i) the total amount of payments and collections to be received during such Collection Period in respect of such Asset (including the proceeds of the sale of such Asset received and, in the case of sales which have not yet settled, to be received during the Collection Period and not reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations or Eligible Investments or retained in the Collection Account for subsequent reinvestment pursuant to Section 12.2) that, if received as scheduled, will be available in the Collection Account at the end of the Collection Period and (ii) any such amounts received in prior Collection Periods that were not disbursed on or prior to a previous Payment Date.

(d) Each Scheduled Distribution receivable with respect to an Asset shall be assumed to be received on the applicable Due Date, and each such Scheduled Distribution shall be assumed to be immediately deposited in the Collection Account to earn interest at the Assumed Reinvestment Rate. All such funds shall be assumed to continue to earn interest until the date on which they are required to be available in the Collection Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof, to payments of principal of or interest on the Secured Debt or other amounts payable pursuant to this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts calculated pursuant to this Section 1.3(d) are estimates and may differ from the actual amounts available to make distributions hereunder, and no party shall have any obligation to make any payment hereunder due to the assumed amounts calculated under this Section 1.3(d) being greater than the actual amounts available. For purposes of the applicable determinations required by Section 10.7(b)(iv), Article XII and the definition of “Interest Coverage Ratio,” the expected interest on the Secured Debt and Floating Rate Obligations will be calculated using the then current interest rates applicable thereto.

-74-

(e) References in Section 11.1(a) to calculations made on a “pro forma basis” shall mean such calculations after giving effect to all payments, in accordance with the Priority of Payments described herein, that precede (in priority of payment) or include the clause in which such calculation is made.

(f) For purposes of calculating all Concentration Limitations, in both the numerator and the denominator of any component of the Concentration Limitations, Defaulted Obligations will be treated as having a Principal Balance equal to the Defaulted Obligation Balance.

(g) If a Collateral Obligation included in the Assets would be deemed a Current Pay Obligation but for the applicable percentage limitation in the proviso to the definition of “Defaulted Obligation,” then the Current Pay Obligations with the lowest Market Value (expressed as a percentage of the Principal Balance of such Current Pay Obligations as of the date of determination) shall be deemed Defaulted Obligations. Each such Defaulted Obligation will be treated as a Defaulted Obligation for all purposes until such time as the Aggregate Principal Balance of Current Pay Obligations would not exceed, on a pro forma basis including such Defaulted Obligation, the applicable percentage of the Collateral Principal Amount as set forth in the proviso to the definition of “Defaulted Obligation.”

(h) Except where expressly referenced herein for inclusion in such calculations, Defaulted Obligations will not be included in the calculation of the Collateral Quality Test.

(i) For purposes of calculating compliance with the Investment Criteria, upon the direction of the Collateral Manager by notice to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Administrator, any Eligible Investment representing Principal Proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of a Collateral Obligation shall be deemed to have the characteristics of such Collateral Obligation as of the date of such sale or other disposition until reinvested in an additional Collateral Obligation. Such calculations shall be based upon the principal amount of such Collateral Obligation, except in the case of Defaulted Obligations and Credit Risk Obligations, in which case the calculations will be based upon the Principal Proceeds received on the disposition or sale of such Defaulted Obligation or Credit Risk Obligation.

(j) For the purposes of calculating compliance with each of the Concentration Limitations all calculations will be rounded to the nearest 0.1%. All other calculations, unless otherwise set forth herein or the context otherwise requires, shall be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth if expressed as a percentage, and to the nearest one-hundredth if expressed otherwise.

(k) If the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) is notified by the administrative agent or other withholding agent or otherwise for the syndicate of lenders in respect of (x) any amendment, waiver, consent or extension fees or (y) commitment fees or other similar fees in respect of Revolving Collateral Obligation or Delayed Drawdown Collateral Obligation that any amounts associated therewith are subject to withholding tax imposed by any jurisdiction, the applicable Collateral Quality Test and the Coverage Tests will be calculated thereafter net of the full amount of such withholding tax unless the related Obligor is required to make “gross-up” payments to the Issuer that cover the full amount of any such withholding tax on an after-tax basis pursuant to the Underlying Documents with respect thereto.

-75-

(l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, all monetary calculations under this Indenture and the Credit Agreement shall be in Dollars.

(m) Any reference herein to an amount of the Trustee’s, the Collateral Agent’s, the Loan Agent’s or the Collateral Administrator’s fees calculated with respect to a period at a per annum rate shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360 and shall be based on the Fee Basis Amount.

(n) To the extent of any ambiguity in the interpretation of any definition or term contained herein or in the Credit Agreement or to the extent more than one methodology can be used to make any of the determinations or calculations set forth herein, the Collateral Administrator shall request direction from the Collateral Manager as to the interpretation and/or methodology to be used, and the Collateral Administrator shall follow such direction, and together with the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent, shall be entitled to conclusively rely thereon without any responsibility or liability therefor.

(o) For purposes of calculating compliance with any tests under this Indenture, the trade date (and not the settlement date) with respect to any acquisition or disposition of a Collateral Obligation or Eligible Investment shall be used to determine whether and when such acquisition or disposition has occurred.

(p) For reporting purposes and for purposes of calculating the Coverage Tests, the Investment Criteria and the requirements of this Indenture, assets held by any Equity Holder Subsidiary that constitute Equity Securities will be treated as Equity Securities owned by the Issuer (and the equity interest in such Equity Holder Subsidiary shall not be included in such calculation).

(q) For purposes of calculating compliance with the Collateral Quality Test, DIP Collateral Obligations shall be treated as having an S&P Recovery Rate equal to the S&P Recovery Rate for Senior Secured Loans.

(r) If any Collateral Obligation that is a Closing Date Participation Interest is not elevated by an assignment agreement prior to the Effective Date, such Collateral Obligation will be deemed to have a Principal Balance for purposes of determining the Adjusted Collateral Principal Amount equal to the S&P Collateral Value until the date on which such Collateral Obligation is assigned to the Issuer.

Upon written request at any time, the Trustee shall provide to the Issuer, the Collateral Manager or the Placement Agent a copy of each Beneficial Ownership Certificate that the Trustee has received.

(v) At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for Notes of like terms, in any authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Note is surrendered for exchange, the Issuer or the Co-Issuers, as applicable, shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(vi) All Notes issued and authenticated upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer or the Co-Issuers, as applicable, evidencing the same debt (to the extent they evidence debt), and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(viii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Trustee or the Transfer Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Trustee or the Transfer Agent shall be permitted to request such evidence reasonably satisfactory to it documenting the identity, authority and/or signatures of the transferor and transferee.

(b) No Note may be sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) unless such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, is exempt from the registration requirements under applicable state securities laws and will not cause the Issuer to become subject to the requirement that it register as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

(c) No transfer of a beneficial interest in a Note will be effective if the transferee’s acquisition, holding or disposition of such interest would constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or violation of other applicable law, unless an exemption is available and all conditions to permit such transfer have been satisfied.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with, or for otherwise monitoring or determining compliance with, the registration provisions of or any exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, ERISA, the Code, the 1940 Act, or the terms hereof; provided that if a certificate is specifically required by the terms of this Section 2.5 to be provided to the Trustee by a prospective transferor or transferee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether or not the certificate substantially conforms on its face to the applicable requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same and the Issuer if such certificate does not comply with such terms.

Subject to the rules and procedures of DTC and this Section 2.5(e)(ii), a holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note deposited with DTC may at any time exchange its interest in such Regulation S Global Note for an equivalent beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note or transfer its interest in such Regulation S Global Note to a Person taking delivery thereof in the form of an equivalent beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note. Upon receipt by the Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Transfer Agent of (A) instructions from Euroclear, Clearstream and/or DTC, as the case may be, directing the Transfer Agent to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest the Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged or transferred, but not less than the Minimum Denomination applicable to such Class of Notes, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with DTC to be credited with such increase, (B) a duly-executed certificate in the form of Exhibit B-3 attached hereto given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating, among other things, that, in the case of a transfer, the Person transferring such interest in such Regulation S Global Note reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in a Rule 144A Global Note is a QIB/QP, is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and in

accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction and (C) a written certification in the form of Exhibit B-4 attached hereto given by the transferee in respect of such beneficial interest stating, among other things, that such transferee is a QIB/QP, then the Transfer Agent shall approve the instructions at DTC to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Regulation S Global Note and to increase or cause to be increased, the principal amount of the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be or exchanged or transferred and to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Agent Member specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note.

(iii) Global Note to Certificated Note. Subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear, Clearstream and/or DTC, as applicable, this Section 2.5(e)(ii) and Section 2.10(a), a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note deposited with DTC may at any time transfer its interest in such Global Note to one or more Persons taking delivery thereof in the form of a corresponding Certificated Note.

-87-

(ii) Such beneficial owner agrees that (A) if it is, or is acting on behalf of, a Benefit Plan Investor, its acquisition, holding and disposition of such Notes does not and will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and (B) if it is a governmental, church, non-U.S. or other plan which is subject to any Other Plan Law, its acquisition, holding and disposition of such Notes will not constitute or result in a non-exempt violation of any Other Plan Law.

(vii) Such beneficial owner will timely furnish the Issuer, the Trustee or their respective agents with any tax forms or certifications (including, without limitation, IRS Form W-9, an applicable IRS Form W-8 (together with all applicable attachments), or any successors to such IRS forms) that the Issuer, the Trustee or their respective agents reasonably request in order to (A) make payments to the beneficial owner without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding, (B) qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which they receive payments, and (C) satisfy reporting and other obligations under the Code, Treasury Regulations, or any other applicable law or regulation (including the Cayman FATCA Legislation), and will update or replace such tax forms or certifications in accordance with their terms or subsequent amendments.

Amounts withheld by the Issuer or their agents that are, in their sole judgment, required to be withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws will be treated as having been paid to such beneficial owner by the Issuer.

-88-

(viii) Such beneficial owner will provide the Issuer or its agents with any correct, complete and accurate information or documentation that may be required for the Issuer to comply with FATCA and the Cayman FATCA Legislation and to prevent the imposition of U.S. federal withholding tax under FATCA on payments to or for the benefit of the Issuer. Such beneficial owner acknowledges that in the event such Holder fails to provide such information or documentation, or to the extent that its ownership of Notes would otherwise cause the Issuer to be subject to any tax under FATCA, (A) the Issuer (and any agent acting on its behalf) is authorized to withhold amounts otherwise distributable to the investor as compensation for any amounts withheld from payments to or for the benefit of the Issuer as a result of such failure or such ownership, and (B) to the extent necessary to avoid an adverse effect on the Issuer as a result of such failure or such ownership, the Issuer will have the right to compel the investor to sell its Notes and, if such person does not sell its Notes within 10 Business Days after notice from the Issuer or its agents, the Issuer will have the right to sell such Notes at a public or private sale called and conducted in any manner permitted by law, and to remit the net proceeds of such sale (taking into account, in addition to other related costs and charges, any taxes incurred by the Issuer in connection with such sale) to such person as payment in full for such Notes. The Issuer may also assign each such Note a separate securities identifier in the Issuer’s sole discretion. Each Holder agrees that the Issuer, the Trustee and/or their agents or representatives may (1) provide any information and documentation concerning its investment in its Notes to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority, the IRS and any other relevant tax authority and (2) take such other steps as they deem necessary or helpful to ensure that the Issuer complies with FATCA and the Cayman FATCA Legislation.

(x) Such beneficial owner agrees that for so long as the Issuer is treated as an entity disregarded as separate from such beneficial owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it will not transfer its interest in a Note unless it shall have obtained written advice of Dechert LLP or Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, or an opinion of tax counsel of nationally recognized standing in the United States experienced in such matters, in the form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Manager, to the effect that (A) such transfer will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation or to be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to its net income or subject to tax liability under Section 1446 of the Code and (B) any such Note and any other outstanding Notes of the same Class (excluding any Notes of the same Class that will continue to be held by such beneficial owner immediately after such transfer) will be fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes immediately after such transfer.

-89-

(xii) Such beneficial owner agrees not to seek to commence in respect of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Equity Holder Subsidiary, or cause the Issuer or any Equity Holder Subsidiary to commence, a bankruptcy proceeding before a year and a day has elapsed since the payment in full to the holders of the Secured Debt issued pursuant to this Indenture and incurred pursuant to the Credit Agreement or, if longer, the applicable preference period (plus one day) then in effect.

(xiii) Such beneficial owner agrees that (a)(i) the express terms of this Indenture govern the rights of the holders to direct the commencement of a Proceeding against any Person, (ii) this Indenture contains limitations on the rights of the holders to direct the commencement of any such Proceeding, and (iii) each beneficial owner shall comply with such express terms if it seeks to direct the commencement of any such Proceeding, (b) there are no implied rights under this Indenture to direct the commencement of any such Proceeding, and (c) notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture, or any provision of the Notes or of any other agreement, the Co-Issuers shall be under no duty or obligation of any kind to the holders of the Notes (or of any interest therein), or any of them, to institute any legal or other proceedings of any kind, against any person or entity, including, without limitation, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Fiscal Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Administrator or the Calculation Agent.

(xiv) Such beneficial owner agrees that the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, may enter into binding commitments to sell and transfer all Notes of a Re-Priced Class held by non-consenting holders pursuant to this Indenture, and if such beneficial owner is a non-consenting holder, it agrees to sell and transfer its Notes in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and hereby irrevocably appoints the Issuer, or the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with such sale and transfer, and agrees to cooperate with the Issuer, the Re-Pricing Intermediary on behalf of the Issuer and/or the Trustee to effect such sale and transfers.

-90-

(xv) Such beneficial owner will provide the Issuer, the Trustee and their agents with any information and documentation required by the Issuer to achieve AML Compliance, and will update or replace such information, as necessary.

(i) Each Person who becomes an owner of a Certificated Note will be required to make the representations and agreements set forth in Exhibit B-2.

(j) Any purported transfer of a Note or interest therein not in accordance with this Section 2.5 shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose whatsoever.

(k) To the extent required by the Issuer, as determined by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, the Issuer may, upon written notice to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent impose additional transfer restrictions on the Notes to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act or the Code and other similar laws or regulations, including, without limitation, requiring each transferee of a Note to make representations to the Issuer in connection with such compliance.

(l) The Note Registrar, the Trustee and the Issuer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the information set forth on the face of any purchaser, transferor and transferee certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 2.5 and shall be able to presume conclusively the continuing accuracy thereof, in each case without further inquiry or investigation. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Transfer Agent shall be required to obtain any certificate specifically required by the terms of this Section 2.5 if the Trustee or the Transfer Agent is not notified of or in a position to know of any transfer requiring such a certificate to be presented by the proposed transferor or transferee.

(m) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Placement Agent may hold a position in a Regulation S Global Note prior to the distribution of the applicable Notes represented by such position.

(n) Conversion of Class A-1 Loans.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.7 of the Credit Agreement, upon written notice to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, each Rating Agency and the Co-Issuers, provided in accordance with the Credit Agreement, a Class A-1 Lender may elect any Payment Date (such Payment Date, the “Conversion Date”) upon which all or a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1 Loans held by such Converting Lender will be converted into Class A-1 Notes of an equal Aggregate Outstanding Amount in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the Credit Agreement; provided that (x) such Conversion Date will be no earlier than the fifth Business Day following the date such notice is delivered (or such later date as may be reasonably agreed to by such Converting Lender, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent and the Trustee) and (y) the Conversion Date may only occur on a Payment Date.

-91-

(ii) On each Conversion Date, (A) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1 Notes will be increased by the current Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1 Loans so converted and (B) the Class A-1 Loans so converted will cease to be Outstanding and will be deemed to have been repaid in full for all purposes hereunder and under the Credit Agreement. Class A-1 Notes may not be converted into Class A-1 Loans.

(iii) The Co-Issuers, the Collateral Manager and the Converting Lender agree to provide reasonable assistance to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent in connection with such conversion, including, but not limited to, providing applicable instructions to DTC, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent and the Note Registrar or Loan Registrar, as applicable.

(iv) Each Class A-1 Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to exercise the Conversion Option concurrently with an assignment of all or a portion of its Class A-1 Loans (an “Assignment/Conversion”) such that the effective date of the assignment occurs on the related Conversion Date and the assignee receives Class A-1 Notes (or an interest therein) in lieu of the portion of Class A-1 Loans being assigned. Any assignment made in connection with an Assignment/Conversion must meet the requirements for an assignment set forth in Section 3.7 of the Credit Agreement. Any Class A-1 Lender electing to make an Assignment/Conversion shall deliver to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent and the Co-Issuers at least five Business Days prior to the Conversion Date, (A) an executed Assignment Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (B) a completed notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Credit Agreement, (C) the assignment fee required under the Credit Agreement and (D) a written certification from the assignee substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4 or Exhibit B-5, as applicable.

Section 2.6 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note. (a) If (i) any mutilated or defaced Note is surrendered to a Transfer Agent, or if there shall be delivered to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the relevant Transfer Agent evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and such Transfer Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee or such Transfer Agent that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Co-Issuers shall execute and, upon Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate, or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate, and deliver to the Holder, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note having the same designation, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal or face amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

(b) If, after delivery of such new Note, a protected purchaser of the predecessor Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Note, the Co-Issuers, the Transfer Agent and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith.

-92-

(c) In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Co-Issuers in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note pay such Note without requiring surrender thereof except that any mutilated or defaced Note shall be surrendered.

(d) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.6, the Co-Issuers may require the payment by the Holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

(e) Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Co-Issuers and such new Note shall be entitled, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 2.6, to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes of the same Class duly issued hereunder.

(f) The provisions of this Section 2.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved. (a) The Secured Debt of each Class shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Interest Rate and such interest will be payable in arrears on each Payment Date on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof on the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments of principal thereof on such date), except as otherwise set forth below. For purposes of determining any Interest Accrual Period, in the case of any Fixed Rate Notes, (i) for any Payment Date that is not a Redemption Date or a Re-Pricing Date, the Payment Date shall be assumed to be the 15^th day of the relevant month (irrespective of whether such day is a Business Day) and (ii) for any Payment Date that is a Redemption Date or a Re-Pricing Date, the Payment Date shall be the Redemption Date or the Re-Pricing Date, as applicable. Payment of interest on each Class of Secured Debt (other than the Class A-1 Debt) will be subordinated to the payment of interest on each related Priority Class as provided in Section 11.1. So long as any Priority Class is Outstanding with respect to a Class of Deferrable Notes, any payment of interest due on such Class of Deferrable Notes that is not available to be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date (“Deferred Interest ” with respect to such Class) shall not be considered “due and payable” for the purposes of Section 5.1(a) (and the failure to pay such interest shall not be an Event of Default) until the earliest of (i) the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (ii) the Redemption Date with respect to such Class of Deferrable Notes, and (iii) the Stated Maturity of such Class of Deferrable Notes. Deferred Interest on the Deferrable Notes shall be payable on the first Payment Date on which funds are available to be used for such purpose in accordance with the Priority of Payments, but in any event no later than the earlier of the Payment Date (i) that is the Redemption Date with respect to such Class of Deferrable Notes, and (ii) that is the Stated Maturity of such Class of Deferrable Notes. Regardless of whether any Priority Class is Outstanding with respect to a Class of Deferrable Notes, to the extent that funds are not available on any Payment Date (other than the Redemption Date with respect to, or Stated Maturity of, such Class of Deferrable Notes) to pay previously accrued Deferred Interest, such

-93-

previously accrued Deferred Interest will not be due and payable on such Payment Date and any failure to pay such previously accrued Deferred Interest on such Payment Date will not be an Event of Default. Interest will cease to accrue on each Class of Secured Debt, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such repaid part, from the date of repayment. To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest on any interest that is not paid when due on any Class A-1 Notes or Class A-1 Loans, or if no Class A-1 Notes or Class A-1 Loans are Outstanding, any Class A-2 Notes, or if no Class A-1 Notes, Class A-1 Loans or Class A-2 Notes are Outstanding, any Class B Notes, or if no Class A-1 Notes, Class A-1 Loans, Class A-2 Notes or Class B Notes are Outstanding, any Class C Notes, or if no Class A-1 Notes, Class A-1 Loans, Class A-2 Notes, Class B Notes or Class C Notes are Outstanding, any Class D Notes, shall accrue at the Interest Rate for such Class until paid as provided herein.

(b) The principal of each Class of Secured Debt matures at par and is due and payable on the date of the Stated Maturity for such Class, unless such principal has been previously repaid or unless the unpaid principal of such Class becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of principal of each Class (and payments of Principal Proceeds to the Fiscal Agent (for payment to Holders of the Preferred Shares)) may only occur in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Payments of principal on any Class of Secured Debt that are not paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date (other than the Payment Date that is the Stated Maturity of such Class of Secured Debt or any Redemption Date) because of insufficient funds therefor shall not be considered “due and payable” for purposes of Section 5.1(a) until the Payment Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or all Priority Classes with respect to such Class have been paid in full.

(c) Principal payments on the Secured Debt will be made in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Article IX.

(d) The Paying Agent shall require the previous delivery of properly completed and signed applicable tax certifications (generally, in the case of U.S. federal income tax, an IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a U.S. Tax Person or the applicable IRS Form W-8 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a Person that is not a U.S. Tax Person) or other certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and any Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to pay, deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Secured Debt or the Holder or beneficial owner of such Secured Debt under any present or future law or regulation of the United States, any other jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation (including any cost basis reporting obligations) and the delivery of any information required under FATCA. The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of Secured Debt as a result of deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges with respect to the Secured Debt. Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate the Paying Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to determine the duties or liabilities of the Issuer or any other paying agent with respect to any tax certification or withholding requirements, or any tax certification or withholding requirements of any jurisdiction, political subdivision or taxing authority outside the United States.

-94-

(e) Payments in respect of interest on and principal of Secured Debt shall be made by the Collateral Agent or by a Paying Agent in Dollars to: (1) the Loan Agent, for distribution to the Class A-1 Lenders in the case of the Class A-1 Loans; (2) DTC or its designee with respect to a Global Note; and (3) the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Certificated Note; in each case, by wire transfer, as directed by such Person, in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by the Loan Agent, in the case of the Class A-1 Loans, by DTC or its nominee, in the case of Global Notes, or by the Holder or its nominee, in the case of Certificated Notes; provided that in the case of a Certificated Note (1) the Holder thereof shall have provided written wiring instructions to the Trustee on or before the related Record Date and (2) if appropriate instructions for any such wire transfer are not received by the related Record Date, then such payment shall be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank mailed to the address of such Holder, as it appears on the Note Register. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of (A) a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of any Paying Agent on or prior to such Maturity and (B) the Class A-1 Loans, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender the lender note representing such Class A-1 Loan to the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement, in each case, on or prior to such Maturity; provided that if the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent and the Co-Issuers shall have been furnished such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such certificate, then, in the absence of notice to the Co-Issuers, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent that the applicable Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, such final payment with respect to such shall be made without presentation or surrender. None of the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Agent or any Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records (or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing such records) maintained by DTC, Euroclear, Clearstream or any of the Agent Members or any of their nominees relating to or for payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests in a Global Note. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Note (other than on the Stated Maturity thereof), the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, or the Loan Agent, as applicable, in the name and at the expense of the Co-Issuers shall prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Persons entitled thereto at their respective addresses as they appear on the Note Register, a notice which shall specify the date on which such payment will be made and the place where such Notes may be presented and surrendered for such payment.

(f) Payments of principal to Holders of Secured Debt of each Class shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of such Class registered in the name of each such Holder on the applicable Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of such Class on such Record Date.

(g) Interest accrued with respect to the Secured Debt (other than the Fixed Rate Notes) shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Accrual Period divided by 360.

In addition, the acquisition of Notes by a Non-Permitted Holder under Section 2.11(b) shall be null and void ab initio.

The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall, promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted Holder by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer (if the Co-Issuer obtains actual knowledge), or upon notice to the Issuer from the Trustee (if a Trust Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge (in which case the Trustee agrees to notify the Issuer of such discovery, if any)), send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its interest in the Notes held by such Non-Permitted Holder to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within 30 days after the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer such Notes or interest therein, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager acting for the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Notes or interest in such Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose.

However, the Issuer or the Collateral Manager may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of each Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Manager to effect such transfers.

(c) If any Person shall become the beneficial owner of an interest in any Note who has made or is deemed to have made, as applicable, a prohibited transaction, Benefit Plan Investor, Controlling Person, Similar Law or Other Plan Law representation required by Section 2.5 that is subsequently shown to be false or misleading or whose beneficial ownership otherwise causes a violation of the 25% Limitation (any such Person a “Non-Permitted ERISA Holder”), the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall, promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder by the Issuer or upon notice to the Issuer from the Trustee (if a Trust Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge or by the Co-Issuer if it obtains actual knowledge (who, in which case, agree to notify the Issuer of such discovery, if any)), send notice to such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder transfer all or any portion of the Notes or Preferred Shares held by such Person to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder within 10 days after the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted ERISA Holder fails to so transfer such Notes or Preferred Shares, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, to sell such Notes or interest in such Notes to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted ERISA Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Notes or Preferred Shares and selling such Notes or Preferred Shares to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means in its sole discretion. The holder of each Note or Preferred Share, the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Notes or Preferred Shares, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Trustee to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted ERISA Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this subsection shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent or the Collateral Manager shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Notes or Preferred Shares sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

Upon a Responsible Officer’s obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, each of (i) the Co-Issuers, (ii) the Trustee (iii) the Collateral Agent, and (iv) the Collateral Manager shall notify each other. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default known to a Trust Officer of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and in no event later than three Business Days thereafter) notify the Holders (as their names appear on the Note Register, the Loan Register or the Share Register, as applicable), each Paying Agent and each of the Rating Agencies of such Event of Default in writing (unless such Event of Default has been waived as provided in Section 5.14).

Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(f) or (g)), the Collateral Agent may, and shall, upon the written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, by notice to the Co-Issuers and each Rating Agency, declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Secured Debt to be immediately due and payable, and upon any such declaration such principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and other amounts payable hereunder, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(f) or (g) occurs, all unpaid principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of all the Secured Debt, and other amounts payable thereunder and hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Holder.

-111-

(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration of maturity has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the Money due has been obtained by the Collateral Agent as hereinafter provided in this Article V, a Majority of the Controlling Class, by written notice to the Issuer, the Collateral Agent and each Rating Agency, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i) The Issuer or the Co-Issuer has paid or deposited with the Collateral Agent a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all unpaid installments of interest and principal then due on the Secured Debt (other than any principal amounts due to the occurrence of an acceleration);

(B) to the extent that the payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon any Deferred Interest at the applicable Interest Rate; and

(C) all unpaid taxes and Administrative Expenses of the Co-Issuers and other sums paid or advanced by the Collateral Agent hereunder, by the Loan Agent under the Credit Agreement or by the Collateral Administrator under the Collateral Administration Agreement or hereunder, accrued and unpaid Aggregate Collateral Management Fees then due and owing (excluding any Waived Collateral Management Fee) and any other amounts then payable by the Co-Issuers hereunder prior to such Administrative Expenses and such Aggregate Collateral Management Fees; or

(ii) It has been determined that all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the interest on or principal of the Secured Debt that has become due solely by such acceleration, have:

(A) been cured; and

(I) in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e), the Holders of at least a Majority of the Class A-1 Debt, by written notice to the Collateral Agent, have agreed with such determination (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld); or

(II) in the case of any other Event of Default, the Holders of at least a Majority of each Class of Secured Debt (voting separately by Class), in each case, by written notice to the Collateral Agent, have agreed with such determination (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld); or

(B) been waived as provided in Section 5.14.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

-112-

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.2 to the contrary, the Secured Debt will not be subject to acceleration by the Collateral Agent solely as a result of the failure to pay any amount due on a Class of Secured Debt other than the Controlling Class other than any failure to pay interest due on the Class B Notes.

Section 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Collateral Agent. The Co-Issuers covenant that if a default shall occur in respect of the payment of any principal of or interest when due and payable on any Secured Debt, the Co-Issuers will, upon demand of the Collateral Agent, pay to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Holder of such Secured Debt, the whole amount, if any, then due and payable on such Secured Debt for principal and interest with interest upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payments of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable Interest Rate, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent and its agents, experts and counsel.

If the Issuer or the Co-Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Collateral Agent, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may, and shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)) upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Co-Issuers or any other obligor upon the Secured Debt and collect the Monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Assets.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may in its discretion, and shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Sections 6.1(c)(iv) and 6.3(e)) upon written direction of the Majority of the Controlling Class, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Secured Parties by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual (if no such direction is received by the Collateral Agent) or as the Collateral Agent may be directed by the Majority of the Controlling Class, to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement herein or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Collateral Agent by this Indenture or by law.

In case there shall be pending Proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Secured Debt under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, their respective property or such other obligor or their property, or in case of any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or other obligor upon the Secured Debt, or the creditors or property of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or such other obligor, the Collateral Agent, regardless of whether the principal of the Secured Debt shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and regardless of whether the Collateral Agent shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

-113-

(a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Secured Debt upon direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Collateral Agent (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and each predecessor Collateral Agent, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Collateral Agent and each predecessor Collateral Agent, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer;

(b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders upon the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency Proceedings or Person performing similar functions in comparable Proceedings; and

(c) to collect and receive any Monies or other property payable to or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders, the Class A-1 Lenders and of the Collateral Agent on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders and the Class A-1 Lenders to make payments to the Collateral Agent, and, if the Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Noteholders (or, in the case of Class A-1 Loans, to the Loan Agent) to pay to the Collateral Agent such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent, each predecessor Collateral Agent and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Collateral Agent and each predecessor Collateral Agent except as a result of negligence or bad faith.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Collateral Agent to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holders of Secured Debt, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Debt or any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any such Holders, as applicable, in any such Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

In any Proceedings brought by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Holders of the Secured Debt (and any such Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party), the Collateral Agent shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Secured Debt.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, the Collateral Agent may not sell or liquidate the Assets or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.3 except according to the provisions specified in Section 5.5(a).

-114-

Section 5.4 Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Secured Debt has been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Co-Issuers agree that the Trustee may, and shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)), upon written direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, to the extent permitted by applicable law, exercise one or more of the following rights, privileges and remedies:

(i) institute Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Secured Debt or otherwise payable under this Indenture or the Credit Agreement, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Assets any Monies adjudged due;

(ii) sell or cause the sale of all or a portion of the Assets or rights or interests therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law and in accordance with Section 5.17 hereof;

(iii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture and/or the Credit Agreement with respect to the Assets;

(iv) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Holders of Secured Debt hereunder (including exercising all rights of the Trustee under the Securities Account Control Agreement); and

(v) exercise any other rights and remedies that may be available at law or in equity;

provided that the Collateral Agent may not sell or liquidate the Assets or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.4 except according to the provisions of Section 5.5(a).

The Collateral Agent may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation (the reasonable cost of which shall be payable as an Administrative Expense) in structuring and distributing securities similar to the Notes, which may be the Placement Agent, as to the feasibility of any action proposed to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to the sufficiency of the proceeds and other amounts receivable with respect to the Assets to make the required payments of principal of and interest on the Secured Debt, which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency.

(b) If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(d) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing the Collateral Agent may, and at the direction of the Holders of not less than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, subject to the terms of this Indenture (including Section 6.3(e)), institute a Proceeding solely to compel performance of the covenant or agreement or to cure the representation or warranty, the breach of which gave rise to the Event of Default under such Section, and enforce any equitable decree or order arising from such Proceeding.

(c) Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial Proceedings, any Secured Party or any Affiliate of the Issuer may bid for and purchase the Assets or any part thereof and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain, possess or dispose of such property in its or their own absolute right without accountability.

-115-

Upon any sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial Proceedings, the receipt of the Collateral Agent, or of the Officer making a sale under judicial Proceedings, shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for its or their purchase Money, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof.

Any such sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial Proceedings, shall bind the Co-Issuers, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent and the Holders of the Notes, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of each of them in and to the property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each of them and their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, none of the Trustee, the Secured Parties or the Holders may, prior to the date which is one year and one day (or if longer, any applicable preference period plus one day) after the payment in full of all the Secured Debt, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Equity Holder Subsidiary any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation Proceedings, or other similar Proceedings under Cayman Islands, United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Collateral Agent (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned period in (A) any case or Proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Equity Holder Subsidiary or (B) any involuntary insolvency Proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Collateral Agent, or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Equity Holder Subsidiary or any of its properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium, liquidation or similar Proceeding.

Section 5.5 Optional Preservation of Assets. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the right of the Collateral Manager to direct the Collateral Agent to sell Collateral Obligations or Equity Securities in compliance with Section 12.1), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall retain the Assets securing the Secured Debt intact, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments at the date or dates fixed by the Collateral Agent and deposit and maintain all accounts in respect of the Assets and the Secured Debt in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Article X, Article XII and Article XIII unless:

(i) the Collateral Agent, pursuant to Section 5.5(c) and in consultation with the Collateral Manager, determines that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of all or any portion of the Assets (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due (or, in the case of interest, accrued) and unpaid on the Secured Debt for principal and interest (including accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest), and all other amounts that, pursuant to the Priority of Payments, are required to be paid prior to such payments on such Secured Debt (including amounts due and owing as Administrative Expenses (without regard to the Administrative Expense Cap) and due and unpaid Aggregate Collateral Management Fees (excluding any Waived Collateral Management Fee)) and a Majority of the Controlling Class agrees with such determination;

-116-

(ii) in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e), the Holders of at least a Majority of the Class A-1 Debt direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets (without regard to whether another Event of Default has occurred prior, contemporaneously or subsequent to such Event of Default); or

(iii) in the case of any Event of Default, the Holders of at least a Majority of each Class of Secured Debt (voting separately by Class) direct the sale and liquidation of the Assets.

So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded at any time when the conditions specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) exist.

(b) Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Collateral Agent to sell the Assets securing the Secured Debt if the conditions set forth in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 5.5(a) are not satisfied. Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Collateral Agent to preserve the Assets securing the Secured Debt if prohibited by applicable law. The Collateral Agent shall provide written notice to S&P if it commences the sale of the Assets pursuant to this Section 5.5.

(c) In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, with the cooperation of the Collateral Manager, bid prices with respect to each Asset from two nationally recognized dealers (as specified by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee in writing) at the time making a market in such Assets and shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lower of such bid prices for each such Asset. In the event that the Collateral Agent, with the cooperation of the Collateral Manager, is only able to obtain bid prices with respect to each Asset from one nationally recognized dealer at the time making a market in such Assets, the Collateral Agent shall compute the anticipated proceeds of the sale or liquidation on the basis of such one bid price for each such Asset. If the Collateral Agent is unable to obtain any bids, the condition in Section 5.5(a)(i) shall be deemed to not exist. In addition, for the purposes of determining issues relating to the execution of a sale or liquidation of the Assets and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof in connection with a determination whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Collateral Agent may retain and rely on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation (the cost of which shall be payable as an Administrative Expense).

The Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Noteholders, the Class A-1 Lenders and the Collateral Manager a report stating the results of any determination required pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) no later than 10 days after such determination is made. The Collateral Agent shall make the determinations required by Section 5.5(a)(i) within 30 days after an Event of Default and at the request of a Majority of the Controlling Class at any time during which the Collateral Agent retains the Assets pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i).

Section 5.6 Trustee and Collateral Agent May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or under any of Secured Debt may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceeding relating thereto, and any such action or Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7 hereof.

Section 5.7 Application of Money Collected. Any Money collected by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Secured Debt pursuant to this Article V and any Money that may then be held or thereafter received by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Secured Debt hereunder shall be applied, subject to Section 13.1 and in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1(a)(iii), at the date or dates fixed by the Collateral Agent. Upon the final distribution of all proceeds of any liquidation effected hereunder, the provisions of Section 4.1(a) and Section 4.1(b) shall be deemed satisfied for the purposes of discharging this Indenture pursuant to Article IV.

Section 5.8 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Secured Debt shall have any right to institute any Proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Credit Agreement, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given to the Collateral Agent written notice of an Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Secured Debt of the Controlling Class shall have made written request to the Collateral Agent to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as the Collateral Agent hereunder and such Holder or Holders have provided the Collateral Agent indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities which might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request;

(c) the Collateral Agent, for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and provision of such indemnity, has failed to institute any such Proceeding; and

(d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Collateral Agent during such 30-day period by a Majority of the Controlling Class; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Secured Debt shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself of, any provision of this Indenture or the Credit Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Secured Debt of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of the Secured Debt of the same Class or to enforce any right under this Indenture or the Credit Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Secured Debt of the same Class subject to and in accordance with Section 13.1 and the Priority of Payments.

-118-

In the event the Collateral Agent shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity pursuant to this Section 5.8 from two or more groups of Holders of the Controlling Class, each representing less than a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with the request specified by the group of Holders with the greatest percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Credit Agreement. If all such groups represent the same percentage, the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, shall be taken.

The Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable, shall, so long as any Secured Debt remaining Outstanding and for a year and a day thereafter, and subject to the proviso below, timely file an answer and any other appropriate pleading objecting to (i) the institution of any proceeding to have the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or (ii) the filing of any petition seeking relief, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, winding up or composition of or in respect of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, under any bankruptcy law or any other applicable law; provided that the obligations set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be subject to the availability of funds therefor under the Priority of Payments. The reasonable fees, costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Issuer or Co-Issuer (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with taking any such action shall be paid as Administrative Expenses.

Section 5.9 Unconditional Rights of Holders of Secured Debt to Receive Principal and Interest. Subject to Section 2.7(i), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Credit Agreement, any Holder of Secured Debt shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Secured Debt, as such principal, interest and other amounts become due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1, as the case may be, and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. Holders of Secured Debt ranking junior to Secured Debt still Outstanding shall have no right to institute Proceedings or to request the Collateral Agent to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment until such time as no Secured Debt ranking senior to such Secured Debt remains Outstanding, which right shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.8, and shall not be impaired without the consent of any such Holder.

Section 5.10 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Collateral Agent or any Holder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Agent and the Holder shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Issuer, Collateral Agent and the Holder shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

-119-

Section 5.11 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Collateral Agent or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.12 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or any Holder of Secured Debt to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein or of a subsequent Event of Default. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Collateral Agent or to the Holders of Secured Debt may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Collateral Agent or by the Holders of Secured Debt.

Section 5.13 Control by Majority of Controlling Class. A Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right following the occurrence, and during the continuance of, an Event of Default to cause the institution of and direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Collateral Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Collateral Agent under this Indenture; provided that:

(a) such direction shall not conflict with any rule of law or with any express provision of this Indenture;

(b) the Collateral Agent may take any other action deemed proper by the Collateral Agent that is not inconsistent with such direction; provided that subject to Section 6.1, the Collateral Agent need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or expense (unless the Collateral Agent has received the indemnity as set forth in (c) below);

(c) the Collateral Agent shall have been provided with an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against all costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented attorney’s fees and expenses) and liabilities anticipated to be incurred by it in connection with such request; and

(d) notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to the Collateral Agent to undertake a Sale of the Assets shall be by the Holders of Secured Debt representing the requisite percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Secured Debt specified in Section 5.4 and/or Section 5.5.

Section 5.14 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of the Money due has been obtained by the Collateral Agent, as provided in this Article V, a Majority of the Controlling Class may on behalf of the Holders of all Secured Debt waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default:

(a) in the payment of the principal of any Secured Debt (which may be waived only with the consent of the Holder of such Secured Debt);

(b) in the payment of interest on any Secured Debt (which may be waived only with the consent of the Holder of such Secured Debt);

-120-

(c) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Section 8.2 cannot be modified or amended without the waiver or consent of each Holder of Outstanding Secured Debt materially and adversely affected thereby (which may be waived only with the consent of each such Holder); or

(d) in respect of a representation contained in Section 7.19 (which may be waived only by a Majority of the Controlling Class if the S&P Rating Condition is satisfied).

In the case of any such waiver, the Co-Issuers, the Collateral Agent and the Holders of Secured Debt shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. The Collateral Agent shall promptly give written notice of any such waiver to each Rating Agency, the Collateral Manager and each Holder. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture.

Section 5.15 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Collateral Agent for any action taken, or omitted by it as Collateral Agent, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Collateral Agent, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder or Class A-1 Lender for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Secured Debt on or after the applicable Stated Maturity (or, in the case of redemption which has resulted in an Event of Default, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

Section 5.16 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each of the Co-Issuers covenant (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any valuation, appraisement, redemption or marshalling law or rights, in each case wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants set forth in, the performance of, or any remedies under this Indenture; and each of the Co-Issuers (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or rights, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Collateral Agent, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted or rights created.

Section 5.17 Sale of Assets. (a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Assets pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Assets remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Assets shall have been sold or all amounts secured by the Assets shall have been paid. The Collateral Agent may upon notice to the Holders, and shall, upon direction of a Majority of the

-121-

Controlling Class, from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale. The Collateral Agent hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided that the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable costs and expenses of counsel) incurred by it in connection with such Sale from the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 or other applicable terms hereof.

(b) The Collateral Agent may bid for and acquire any portion of the Assets in connection with a public Sale thereof, and may pay all or part of the purchase price by crediting against amounts owing on the Secured Debt in the case of the Assets or other amounts secured by the Assets, all or part of the net proceeds of such Sale after deducting the reasonable costs, charges and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable costs and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Sale notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof or other applicable terms hereof. The Notes need not be produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against amounts owing on the Secured Debt. The Collateral Agent may hold, lease, operate, manage or otherwise deal with any property so acquired in any manner permitted by law in accordance with this Indenture.

(c) If any portion of the Assets consists of securities issued without registration under the Securities Act (“Unregistered Securities”), the Collateral Agent may seek an Opinion of Counsel, or, if no such Opinion of Counsel can be obtained and with the consent of a Majority of the Controlling Class, seek a no action position from the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other relevant federal or State regulatory authorities, regarding the legality of a public or private Sale of such Unregistered Securities.

(d) The Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Assets in connection with a Sale thereof, without recourse, representation or warranty. In addition, the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney in fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Assets in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale. No purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Collateral Agent’s authority, to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any Monies.

Section 5.18 Action on the Notes. The Collateral Agent’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Secured Debt or under this Indenture or the Credit Agreement shall not be affected by the seeking or obtaining of or application for any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture or the Credit Agreement. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent or the Holders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Collateral Agent against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Assets or upon any of the assets of the Co-Issuers.

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly, but in any event within three Business Days in the case of an Officer’s certificate furnished by the Collateral Manager, notify the party delivering the same if such certificate or opinion does not conform. If a corrected form shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 15 days after such notice from the Trustee, the Trustee shall so notify the Noteholders and the Loan Agent.

(b) In case an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from a Majority of the Controlling Class, or such other percentage as permitted by this Indenture, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

(c) No provision of this Indenture or any other Transaction Documents shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section 6.1;

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Co-Issuers or the Collateral Manager in accordance with this Indenture and/or a Majority (or such other percentage as may be required by the terms hereof) of the Controlling Class (or other Class if required or permitted by the terms hereof), relating to the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture;

-123-

(iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial or other liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to the performance of its ordinary services, including mailing of notices under this Indenture; and

(v) in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage (including but not limited to lost profits) even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of such action.

For purposes of determining the Trustee’s responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made herein to such an Event of Default or a Default, such reference shall be construed to refer only to such an Event of Default or Default of which the Trustee is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 6.1.

(e) Upon the Trustee receiving written notice from the Collateral Manager that an event constituting “Cause” as defined in the Collateral Management Agreement has occurred, the Trustee shall, not later than two Business Days thereafter, forward such notice to the Noteholders (as their names appear in the Note Register) and to the Loan Agent (for delivery to the Class A-1 Lenders).

(g) [Reserved].

(h) In order to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act, including Section 326 thereof, the Trustee is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Trustee.

Section 6.2 Notice of Event of Default. Promptly (and in no event later than three Business Days) after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee or after any declaration of acceleration has been made or delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.2, the Trustee shall provide notice to the Collateral Manager, each Rating Agency, each Noteholder (as their respective names and addresses appear on the Note Register) and to the Loan Agent (for delivery to the Class A-1 Lenders), notice of all Event of Defaults hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
